Don’t worry about how many aspirants APC has, so long as a northerner will emerge, we will support him. There is no problem at all.
If you are observant, you would have seen a document yesterday which was planted in a national daily, prepared by Research Integrity in Lagos. The report made interesting reading. It was very clear that Jonathan is not even in the third or fourth position in terms of national survey, as to who is the best candidate for Nigeria in 2015. Across the nation, the man was not even rated even 10th.
So, the issue has shifted from resistance from the North, but resistance from the entire country, that the man is not fit to remain in office after 2015. So, the North has no problem with any of the aspirants that emerges from their primaries in the APC.
First of all, we support the primaries because the primaries are indications of democracy. But you could see what has happened in the PDP; they shut everybody out against their will and they don’t have the will to fight back.
So, the APC should respect its constitution in terms of how candidates emerge from local government up to the Presidency. If they respect their constitution and carry out their primaries openly, fairly and transparently, they should have no problem of acceptance of the candidate that emerges as winner. So, from that point on, everybody’s hands should be on deck
